A slow family drama and even slower crime thriller, though the film is not without commendable performances by the actors. Those seeking for a detective movie might be disappointed. Wild Horses is first and foremost a family drama, while theA slow family drama and even slower crime thriller, though the film is not without commendable performances by the actors. Those seeking for a detective movie might be disappointed. Wild Horses is first and foremost a family drama, while the investigation part takes secondary priority. It provides solid emotional scenes, mainly thanks to the veteran cast and the personal premise, although the pace is unfortunately slow. It may not appeal to anyone since it will take nearly an hour before the momentum actually builds up, furthermore the crime element is considerably weak.

Story follows the sheriff from small desert town who opens a cold case concerning a missing boy. It happened fifteen years ago, so understandably it rattles some people, especially the Briggs family. It becomes clear early on that Luciana Pedraza as the sheriff is not in the same league as the rest of the cast, which is unfortunate since her perspective, while not in the same volume of the family's, is still crucial to the plot.

Additionally, there is very thin material for the crime aspect, it could have been skimped to minor subplot, yet the movie invests quite a lot on the police angle. The rest of the time is focused on dialogues in the Briggs family. The Briggs are very rich family and very patriarchy, they also harbors a lot of secrets. Duvall plays as Scott, the head of the family and he delivers a very convincing performance. He keeps the interest of his family first, although this might collide with the tragedy of the past.

Josh Hartnett has added depth on his character. He looks straightforward or rigid, but can also be passionately aggressive. The youngest son Ben is played by James Franco and he might be hust the nicest and honest amongst all. Between the three of them the acting is highly presentable, but since the screenplay consists of slow pace conversations, it can be tedious at times.

It has the good intention on delivering very private issue by the perspective of an entire family. However, the inconsistent delivery and tired pacing might not be refined enough to deliver the intended message.… Expand

I was surprised by performance and the script of this movie and was expecting much more based on the caliber of actors! This movie wanders all over the map with no direction, yes I got the premise right at the beginning, and how it laid outI was surprised by performance and the script of this movie and was expecting much more based on the caliber of actors! This movie wanders all over the map with no direction, yes I got the premise right at the beginning, and how it laid out where the movie was headed, but really left me wanting exponentially more! The movie also seemed to have bits and pieces of other Rober Duvall movies all put together in this one, but it was like a huge puzzle missing the most important pieces. Really wouldn't recommend anyone to waste their time on this one. Again very disappointed with the script and acting as it left me unfulfilled.… Expand

A complex, ambitious genre piece that combines family drama and murder mystery, set in the south Texas ranch country.
